OWNER'S MANUAL - BILGE PUMPS
All Sailfish Boats are furnished with Auto-Sensing
Bilge Pumps, which are engaged when the water
level rises in the bilge and the causing the pump to
turn on until the water level falls to a sufficient level.
These pumps can be tested by turning them upside
down, the pump should turn on, once turned back
over it will run for a few more seconds and then shut
off. The pumps also have a manual switch function
on the main switch panel which when engaged, will
cause the pump to run until the switch is turned off.
The auto function of the pumps are wired into your
boat bypassing the battery switch so that they have
power at all times, this safety feature will counter
water intrusion (up to the capacity of flow of the
system) while you are away from the boat and the
batteries are turned off.
The manual switch function is powered through
the battery switch to prevent the pumps from
remaining on accidentally by inadvertantly leaving
the switch on.
The Sailfish 245DC is equipped with an Aft -
2000GPH pump and a midship - 800GPH pump.
Never leave your vessel unattended while in the
water for long periods of time and always monitor
your batteries voltage level and bilge water level.
